The old 32 bit version in the Nux repo won't be working for much longer
as skype is changing it's protocols.  There is a new 64 bit alpha
version you can get directly from skype that works:

https://repo.skype.com/https://repo.skype.com/

The instructions for yum works, and after that just:
yum install skypeforlinux
